plates the provision of strips of flexible material attached at theirouter edges upon'the bent in sections of the short sleeve portions andan arrangement by which the inter-engageable hooks are mounted upon saidstrips of flexible material.

Another one of the objects of this invention resides in the provision ofa cover strip which is adapted to extend across the inner side of thejunction between the extension portion and the short sleeve to preventthe inter-engaging hooks from engaging against ones skin.

Still further the invention proposes to so arrange the parts that whenthe extension portion is removed the said covering strip may be foldedup and beneath one of the strips oi flexible material to which elementsof the inter-engageable hooks are mounted, to encase and cover them fromexposure and possible engagement against ones skin when the shirt isworn.

Forfurther comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which thevarious novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:-

Fig. l is a perspective view of a shirt with sleeves constructedaccording to this invention.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective enlarged detailed view of one of thesleeves illustrated with the extension portion partially removed-so thatthe details of the flexible strips and the inter-engaging hooks may heclearly seen.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary enlarged sectional view taken on the line 3-4 ofFig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a view similar'to Fig. 3 but illustrating a modification ofthe invention.

Fig. 5 illustrates the shirt sleeve shown in Fig. 4 with the coveringstrip folded upwards to enc'ase the flexible strip provided with theinter-engagesble hooks.

Fig. 6 is a similar view to Fig. 1, but illustrating another form. ofthe invention. "According to this invention the shirt sleeve comprises ashort sleeve portion HI and an extension portion M constitutinga longsleeve. The adjapent-edges of said sleeve portions have bent mammals:and Hi respectively. Specifically, these bent in sections comprise anouter layer 10 continuing into an interior layer m A strip of flexiblematerial it is attached at its outer edge to each of the bent insections of the tions. For this purpose there is a line of stitches iiiwhich extends through the bent in section and the adjacent portionoi-thefiexible strip of inaterial to accomplish the attachment of theseparts.

An auniliary line of stitches i3 is arranged parallel to thetatiitehesill at another area of these parts and serves merely'for the purpose ofmore securely connecting the parts together. The adjaoent edges of theflexible materials M are provided with inter-ensageable hooks M. Thesehooks are oi the type which may be inter-engaged with a controi'shdesuch as the slide it shown in Fig. 2. Thelnter-engaging hooks M arearranged completely along thelengths of the strips l5.

At one point one .of the edges is provided with a starting hloclr isadapted to receive a stud ill from the other edge so as to hold the hookfastener in a starting position. The control slide l6 may he slipped onthe hook fastener in a conventional manner and along to cause. thefasteners to engage each other. The details of the fastener, thestarting points it and W, and the control slide I! form no part-of thisinvention and are generally known inthe art and therefore will not begiven in this specification.

In Figs. 4 and 5 a modification of the invention has been disclosed inwhich a covering strip of material 2! is disposedacross the junctionbetween the short sleeve portion and the extension portion and isattached-at its top edge by the line 01 stitches II to the ,strip i2 andthe adjacent bent portion ll of the shirt sleeve. This covering strip ofmaterial is of suflicient width to extend over the junction between thesleeve portions and cover the hookissteners.

Auxiliary hook elements II are attached at spaced intervals along thefree edge of the covering strip II and are adapted to coact with fixedlymounted eye elements 22 upon the lower strip portion l2, as clearlyshown in Fig. 4. It should bcnoted that the covering strip serves toencase the hook fasteners and'pmvents them from com.-

' in: into intimate contact with one: akln.

sleeve porcovering strip 20 is bent upwards across the hook fastener Itto a position in which the hooks 2i engage complementary eye elements I2mounted on the outer face of the flexible strip II. The device is shownin this condition in Fig. 5. when thus arranged the covering strip willprotect-ones' skin from intimate contact with the hook; fasteners. v

In Fig. 6 buttons and buttonholes II are illustrated for joining theextension portions i I to the short sleeves ll of the garment. 'lhesebuttons may also be in the form of ornamentations, or

snap fasteners.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of myinvention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to theprecise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to allchanges and modifications coming within the scope of the invention .asdefined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by. United States Letters Patent is:-

l. A sleeve comprising a short sleeve portion having its outeredge'portion bent inwards, a flexible strip of material disposed againstthe innor face of said bent in edge portion and attached at its inneredge on said edge portion,

hook elements on the outer edge portion of said flexible strip ofmaterial and adapted to interengage complementary hook elementsassociated with an extension portion for said sleeve to make a fulllength sleeve, a covering strip of material 9,104,021; f v disposedagainst the inner face of said flexible strip of material and attachedat its inner edge and extending over the free edge of said flexiblestrip to the outer face thereof, fastening elements on said coveringmaterial, and coasting fastening elements on the outer face of saidflexible strip for holding the covering strip releasably in position tobe releasable to extend over complemen tary hook elements of saidextension portion.

2. A sleeve comprising a short sleeve portion having its outer edgeportion bent inwards, a

flexible strip of material disposed against the inner face of said bentin edge portion and at tached at its inner edge on said, edge portion,hook elements on the outer edge portion of said flexible strip ofmaterial and adapted. to interengage complementary hook elementsassociated with an extension portion for said sleeve to make a fulllength sleeve, 8, covering strip of material disposed against the innerface of said flexible strip of material and attached at its inner edgeand extending over the free edge of said flexible strip to the outerface thereof, fastening elements on said covering material, and,coacting fastening elements on the outer face of said flexible strip forholding the covering strip releasably in posig tion to be releasable toextend over complementary hook elements of said extension portion, asecond set of coacting fastening elements on the inner face of saidflexible member, whereby said covering strip may be bent around saidhook ele-= ments when said short sleeve portion is worn without saidextension sleeve portion until said fastening elements engage saidsecond set of coacting fastening elements to hide said hook elementsfrom view;
